2017 Upgrades

Earlier this year I upgraded to the mp rotor pack and a fresh mpiii. I took the overdrive down from 33% to 25% and managed to gain roughly 2psi of boost and 20rwhp. Not shabby but the only track time I got this year resulted in a worse et but significantly higher mph which left me scratching my head. The only thing I noticed was it seemed like I was spinning alot. Fast forward to power tour and 2nd gear started slipping badly so I limped it home. I believe this was a problem for awhile and why the track times did not improve with added hp but mph did. All the gears work fine other than 2nd. I figure I will never be happy with an m90 on this motor and came across a opertunity to purchase Ken Wagner old 2.3l whipple setup! The car is about to go under the knife again. I have to reroute intercooler pipes also I am about to drop the Transmission to get it fixed. I also picked up a nice zex wet kit so I am ditching the dry setup. Stay tuned things are about to get really serious with this car! I feel like I laid all the groundwork for this with the engine build and fuel system. The only thing I am tossing around right now is to upgrade to a 95 mm throttle body or not.

Swweeeeet! You going to have time to get everything done before the Shootout? I did some serious under-the-hood cleaning this weekend. Trying to make the ole black car pretty finally!

Installing a 25k btu ac in the garage today then the car comes in to go under the knife. I have to drop the tranny this week and hopefully get the m90 stuff off I hope to e mobile again before the end of August so it can be tuned

Wl I'd post some pics if photo bucket wasn't gay smh... Anyway I got the rear end, driveshaft and exhaust out and tranny drained hopefully drop it tommorw. Also ordered the stuff to run an 8an feed line for fuel

Today I dropped the transmission and removed the mpx! Also I ordered a derale stacked plate tranny cooler and the pipe kit to redo my fmic

That's kinda funny...both of our cars are pretty torn apart....less than 2 months till the Shootout and we're ordering the same stuff at the same time. I'm ordering a Derale power steering cooler instead of tranny cooler though....I've not adopted your lifestyle.
